Research-Square is partnering with several leading high-tech organisations across the Netherlands. These companies operate at the forefront of innovation, developing advanced machines, precision equipment and complex mechatronic systems within multidisciplinary engineering environments.

We are continuously looking for Mechanical Design Engineers at different career levels, from ambitious junior engineers looking to develop their skills to experienced senior professionals ready to take ownership of complex engineering challenges.

Depending on your background, experience and ambitions, you could contribute to the development of innovative high-tech systems, precision mechanical modules, machine designs or complete mechatronic solutions.

Whether you are at the beginning of your engineering career or bring years of experience, we have multiple opportunities to explore across the Dutch high-tech industry.

We're hiring Mechanical Design Engineers to:

• Translate technical requirements into mechanical concepts and designs.
• Develop and detail 3D models, technical drawings and engineering documentation.
• Design mechanical components, modules, assemblies and complex systems.
• Work on precision mechanics, machine construction and mechatronic solutions.
• Perform engineering calculations, tolerance analysis and FEM analyses (depending on experience).
• Make well-founded design decisions considering performance, manufacturability, cost and reliability.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, including mechanical, electrical, software and system engineers.
• Contribute to prototyping, system integration, testing and validation.
• Identify technical challenges and develop effective engineering solutions.
• Take ownership of design activities and contribute to continuous improvement.

For more experienced profiles:

• Take ownership of mechanical modules, subsystems or complete design scopes.
• Lead technical work packages and contribute to engineering decisions.
• Act as a technical sparring partner within multidisciplinary teams.
• Support and mentor junior engineers and designers.

We're looking for someone experienced with as much of the following as possible:

• A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics or a related technical field (BSc/MSc/PhD).
• Experience or a strong interest in mechanical design and engineering.
• Experience in high-tech, precision engineering or machine-building environments is a plus.
• Knowledge of complex mechanical or mechatronic systems.
• Experience with CAD tools such as Siemens NX, SolidWorks, Creo or Inventor.
• Knowledge of precision mechanics, machine design or mechanical construction.
• Experience with engineering calculations, FEM and tolerance analysis is an advantage.
• An understanding of Design for Excellence (DfX), manufacturability and reliability.
• The ability to work in multidisciplinary development environments.
• A proactive, analytical and solution-oriented mindset.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.

What we provide

• Full relocation support to help you (and your family) move smoothly to the Netherlands.
